Hopefully, this will be the beginning of the end for POSs who get out of trouble just because they are athletically gifted.

I'd love to Henderson get the Michael Vick treatment.

Anybody who is special, regardless the gift; physical, mental, monetary, get preferential treatment.

This is true in general, but Il Pad is speaking of an epidemic in our culture in which we protect our athletes in spite of their violent behavior. You think a National Merit Scholar who made threatening remarks to and physically manhandled women -- repeatedly -- would be allowed to return to campus and live in the dorms? No way. The exception was made not just because this guy was unusually talented, but specifically because he was a scholarship athlete.
